very good sound, ok comfort

I have been using these headphones for over three years with my laptop. The sound quality is good even for listening to symphonies or sophisticated jazz. The main problem I have experienced is that my head is bigger than average, so these headphones...

Good Headphones for the Price

I bought these as a replacement for my Bose Triport headphones. These are quite a bit larger than I expected, but the sound quality is fine and I'm happy with the purchase. The cord is long enough for me to move about, and it plugs into the...

Great Investment--Three Years Ago!

If I could have reviewed these headphones when I bought them, I would have given them 5 stars easily, but that was awhile ago, and I purchased them for even less than what Amazon is listing them at now (I bought them for about 75 dollars--that was when...

Really Great Headphones with one tiny flaw

Yesterday I finally recieved my new sweet headphones in the mail. All I have to say is that they are indeed incredible. They are a little bigger than I imagined, but that's not what's important (not when you're paying this much!). The most important...

Two strikes, you're out!

Unit arrived with a bad plug/jack on the headphone. It would play left or right channel, but not both at the same time. Returned for replacement. Replacement unit had the exact same problem. Sent it back for full credit. I'll try another model...

Great Sound!

For the price, these can't be beat! I anticipated good sound coming out of our regular stereo system, but the fact that these give great sound from an ordinary portable CD player is a plus. Couldn't be happier! Update [05/29/2007]: Still going stong...
